Diogo S. Lüdtke obtained his degree in Chemistry from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) in 2000. In 2001, he entered the graduate program at the same University, where in 2005 he completed his Ph.D., under the supervision of Prof. Antonio L. Braga. After a postdoctoral stint in the group of Prof. Ronaldo A. Pilli, at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), he started his independent career in 2007, at the University of São Paulo (USP). Since 2011 he has been at the Institute of Chemistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), where is main research interests are focused on Asymmetric Synthesis and Catalysis, using carbohydrates and amino acids as raw materials. He was one of the six Brazilian delegates in the 3rd Transatlantic Frontiers of Chemistry Symposium, promoted by GDCh, RSC and ACS (2013). He received the Química Nova award from the Brazilian Chemical Society and the BMOS-RSC Young Investigator Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry and Brazilian Meeting on Organic Synthesis (2018). From 2013-2017 he was an Affiliated Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. He is the recipient of the CNPq Research Productivity Fellowship (level 1C). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The present reseach project is centered in the use of carbohydrates, namely D-glucosamine and D-xylose, as a chiral pool for the synthesis of chiral catalysts and ligand with potential application as chiral transfer agents in several enantioselective transformations using organometallic reagents. Moreover, the development of carbohydrate-based chiral organocatalysts that can act in metal-…
The project is centered on the development of a short synthetic route for the preparation of selenocarbohydrates, derived from D-xylose, with different substitution patterns ate the organoselenium moiety. These products will be used as precursors for the synthesis of interesting synthetic intermediates, such as deoxyglucosides, exo-glucals and Se(IV)-oxacycles. Moreover, we also planned a…
Synthetic strategies toward the synthesis of selenocarbohydrates mainly reside in the insertion of the selenium atom in the anomeric position of sugars. Therefore, there is an interest in the development of methods that allow the preparation of selenocarbohydrates with the organoselenium moiety attached to other position of sugars. In this context, the present project intends to develop a…
